Adobe Photoshop Sketch

Expressive drawing and painting with Sketch.

Photoshop Sketch lets you create expressive drawings anywhere using natural drawing tools like pencils, pens, markers and watercolour brushes to get all the textures and blending effects you’d get on paper.

Sketch gives you drawing tools that interact naturally with the canvas, including a graphite pencil, ink pen and blending markers. Built-in brushes open up even more creative possibilities. Use Split View to keep your drawings and toolbox side by side on the same screen. Then send your sketches directly to desktop Photoshop to take them to the next level.

Drawing

Sketch with tools that behave like the real thing — pencils, pens, markers, erasers and customised brushes. Use blend modes to draw on top of existing brush strokes and create natural colour changes. Try out the watercolour brush on your iPad Air, mini or Pro.

Behance integration

See what other artists and designers are creating in the community gallery. Upload your art to Behance as a work in progress to get feedback right in the app.

Send to Illustrator and Photoshop

Send sketches to Adobe Illustrator to scale your work up to 4x for high-resolution printing. Or send them to Photoshop as layered PSD files with the drawing, the paper background and the images all on separate layers so you can easily isolate your artwork.

Customised brushes

Create without limits using brushes made in Adobe Capture. You can turn any photo into a brush for Sketch. You can also launch Capture from within the app, create a new brush and have it immediately appear in your Sketch toolbar.

Never lose perspective

Built-in graph and perspective grids make it easy for you to sketch the 3D world in your 2D drawing.

Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries

Your customised brushes from Capture can be saved to Creative Cloud Libraries for quick access in Sketch and Adobe desktop apps like Photoshop and Illustrator. You can also access shared libraries via Sketch.

Support for the latest drawing hardware

Sketch supports the latest styluses from Adonit and Wacom, as well as Pencil by FiftyThree, Adobe Ink and the new Apple Pencil for iPad Pro.
